Business Wire
Rand Worldwide (OTCBB: RWWI), a global leader in providing
technology solutions to organizations with engineering design and
information technology requirements, today announced that its
courseware division, ASCENT- Center for Technical Knowledge, and 4D
Technologies, developers of the industry leading CADLearning video
library, plan to collaborate on the creation of products that bring
together training guide and video content from both parties. The
first such product type planned will see ASCENT add video from the
CADLearning video library into its Autodesk Official Training Guide
eBooks. Already the sole provider of Autodesk Official Training
Guides (AOTG), ASCENT’s new multi-format eBook will combine their
industry leading content with rich video to create an unrivalled
learning experience.
“ASCENT is the leading provider of training guides for Autodesk
software training while CADLearning is the leading video-based
learning resource,” says Paul Burden, director of product
development, ASCENT. “This planned collaboration will provide the
best of both types of content to instructors, students, and
self-learners. The association of hundreds of CADLearning videos
with each Autodesk Official Training Guide from ASCENT will enable
instructors to immediately point to the perfect example to help
illustrate a concept. Complementing the written content and
exercises, this rich video content will create an experience that
enhances the classroom environment as well as support self-learners
with practical visual demonstrations of key concepts, tricks and
tips.”
ASCENT first plans to include CADLearning in a video enhanced
eBook version of AutoCAD/AutoCAD LT 2015 Essentials. A prototype
will be available for demonstration at ASCENT’s Autodesk University
booth (#249). This eBook will include 164 different videos with a
total video playing time of over 11 hours.
“By working together with ASCENT, we’re combining the two top
industry content offerings in one multi-platform learning tool,”
says Matt Murphy, director of content management and development,
4D Technologies. “Text, images, exercises, and video demonstrations
work together to support various learning styles and reinforce
learning in a way that allows users the flexibility to absorb the
information in the way they learn best.”
Certification Prep Lounge
In addition to leading classes at AU, ASCENT and CADLearning
experts will also be available to answer exam prep questions at the
“Ask the Expert” counter in the Autodesk Certification Lounge.
Co-branded materials from ASCENT and CADLearning will also be
available in the Autodesk Certification Lounge to assist attendees
in planning for their Autodesk Certification exams.
